Scott Uhlrich

Scott Uhlrich is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Utah. His research focuses on improving human mobility across the lifespan using scalable digital health technologies. He leverages computational biomechanics, machine learning, mobile sensing, and imaging to address orthopaedic conditions, neurological disorders, and age-related mobility challenges.

• Develops open-source software for large-scale human movement analysis via smartphone video
• Investigates pathological mechanics of osteoarthritis and designs interventions

His recent work emphasizes markerless motion capture, real-time biofeedback, and biomechanical modeling of joint degeneration. While no scientific awards are listed, his publications highlight collaborations between engineering and clinical research. Scott supports the RMCOEH Ergonomics and Safety program and engages in outreach through digital health initiatives and community education.
